Sandy Pumpkin and Potatoes are a side dish that warms the heart. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, the perfect recipe to pair with main courses of meat or fish. It’s very similar to crispy pumpkin in a pan, except in this case everything is baked in the oven. However, if you prefer to further shorten the time, you can cook the sandy pumpkin and potatoes in an air fryer. Try also the oven-baked pumpkin with paprika, equally delicious and easy to make. Now I leave you to the recipe, and if you try to replicate it, let me know in the comments! Don’t forget to subscribe to my Facebook and Instagram pages. Kisses, Chicca!

How to prepare sandy pumpkin and potatoes
Start by cutting the pumpkin, removing the seeds and filaments inside, and remember to remove the peel. Cut it into not too large cubes.
Do the same with the potatoes, peel them and cut them into pieces.
At this point, season the pumpkin and potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, breadcrumbs, and grated parmesan.
Transfer everything to a baking pan covered with parchment paper and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 25 minutes plus the last 5 minutes in grill mode. The cooking time greatly depends on the size of the vegetable cuts; the larger they are cut, the more time they will take to cook.
Storage of Sandy Pumpkin and Potatoes
Once cooked, you can store it in the refrigerator inside an airtight container. How to store raw pumpkin: Whether whole or cut, you can keep it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for up to 4 days. It can be frozen; I recommend cutting it into pieces and already portioning it into freezer bags, it keeps for up to 8 months and you can use it frozen.
